Interaction of all IP mobile Internet devices with networked appliances in a residential home

This paper deals with the interaction of all IP mobile Internet devices with networked appliances in a residential home. Two novel mechanisms are described and demonstrated: pointing as an indication of user interest, and user interface loading from the home appliance to a mobile Internet device. The user pointing action is used as a source to both collecting the context information of the user, and triggering the execution of the user interface loading procedure. The provided mechanisms are described in the form of a use scenario, and implemented using a session initiation protocol (SIP) and an open service gateway (OSGi) platform.
